    You know the wild part? I can make those phone calls easily for other people I’ll happily yell at the cable people on the phone for my friend. But if I have to do it for myself? #shudder

      Some things are just easier when it’s not directly related to you. It’s a weird phenomenon.

    “I would rather walk down to the cable company and stay a week in the waiting room than make a single short phone call.”

      Me learning to cut my own hair just to avoid having to make small talk with the local barbers

      Luckily, as a guy without any particular style, it’s socially unremarkable for me to just shore it all off, as long as I make sure it’s not mangy.

        Same. Haven’t been to a barber in close to 10 years. Though I did learn to style a bit so its not just buzzed short. There were a lot of hats during the learning phase.

        Mostly to save money lmfao.

        Haven’t been to a barber for like one and a half decade. Hair gets so annoying when it get slightly longer. Luckily, I’m male so short hair conforms with social expectations. I honestly don’t know how people can deal with long hair.

    I’m just going to set a reminder in an hour, once it goes off I’ll give myself a five minute break, and I might just get to it…tomorrow.

    It’s two buttons on the dishwasher. Worst case, you need to clean some gunk out of the bottom. It’s either that or dirty dishes for the rest of your life!?!?

    A goal at the end of tasks that I actually want and isn’t just made up? No that’ll make me get this done faster than what should logically be possible
